Hello,
Spot on Mick with your details. The Mazda CRM211 will also replace the MW 53-20 but unfortunately is a similat rare tube these days and unlike the Mullard tube the Mazda will probably be low emission. They are MASSIVE tubes and I remember taking one out of its box at the rebuilders and strapping it naked on the pillion seat of my Velocette 500cc motorbike, riding to the customers house and fitting it in a Ferguson 308T. I then calmly repeated the performance with the dud tube back to the regunners!
Well we were all young once! Happy days. Regards JOHN.
